For some time now, I have been curious about what the two parallel two-story buildings, beautifully and freshly painted a bright navy blue with white trim could house. The second floor seemed to be apartments?
If there were businesses in them, whoever surely didn't believe in advertising.
And now I know why. This morning's Daily Breeze announced that something called the Pineapple Club was running an ad in WeedMaps that told readers where to fine them - look to the right of Angel City Grill, to a solid white, ordinary-looking front door on the first building at 1505 Artesia and ring the doorbell. Caller's purpose? To buy marijuana.
As it happens, legal purchases of recreational marijuana for our area passed in 2016. This is not the '60s when less than an ounce would put you in jail. This and another site got busted for not having business licenses!
Even more amusingly this Angel City Grill silliness reminded me of Prohibition Days when passwords and "So and so sent me" reigned over the drinking class which was pretty much everyone in those days.
The other local business to get nabbed was passing itself off as a church! That's right! Come see God yourself after our ushers come around. That's not incense they're swinging, dear members.
The Law was not amused particularly since it appears to be a habit for these "churches" to change their name within two days of getting busted and go right back to bidness.
But business being business, I wonder if Angel City Grill is dealing with an upsurge of a very hungry lunch crowd? It would seem only fair - being good neighbors 'n all ...
